Customer Reviews
Short, sweet, and helpful!
Paige’s voice is easy to listen to, and her philosophy and tips keep me on track with our science goals for our homeschool. I love that I can listen while I’m cleaning up after lunch or folding a basket of laundry. No fluff or awkward product placement, just helpful advice and things to think through presented succinctly.
Making Science Manageable
Paige is easy to listen to and makes science seem much less intimidating for this Mom. Her curriculum Elemental Science is the perfect blend of experimentation, reading living books and options for all ages. I highly recommend using her curriculum and listening to podcast to keep you going when science just seems hard.
